Hi!
Need some help with my Samsung galaxy nexus.
After the last update (to 4.1.1) my playstore app insists to JUST show the free applications in the store. Ive been told by some guys that got the same problem that this might be because google thinks i live in non-accepted-by-google country, wich i do not for the record.
Now to my Q :
Is it possible to hack my device in some way so that playstore think i live in some other country ? Or atleast in my own land.

hey guys, as title says, wont update. i got my sensation from expansys-usa but not sure it is a us model as i had to install morelocale2 app for us english. i live in the Bahamas and as you know the phone comes with google maps installed but if i go to the market it says this item cannot be installed in your device's country. but i can use the app thats there and it works fine. what is the issue ?
Same problem here in Kenya - if you get an old Android with an ancient version of Maps you can't upgrade because of device country! At least the version on the Sensation is not too old!
Only way out is when we finally get root then we can use Market Enabler or Market Access to spoof another country and download. That's what I used to do with my Nexus One.
With root you can even use - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007132 that modified maps.apk and get navigation also!
thanks for the reply. HTC please hurry up and gice us what you promised. I NEED ROOT!!!!
Just noted my first Maps update via appbrain and of course I can not find it in the market due to regional restrictions. What a joke. Gimme root + Market Access / Enabler please sooooooon HTC or devs
Guys,
I wanted to buy many of the recent specials that Google have but I don't have an android phone yet.
Is there anyway I can use my friend's android device to buy these so that later I can get them when I get my phone over Christmas ?
When I log in to his Android phone it does not allow me to change the primary account in the android market app..
I am here in Aus so I think we didn't get the ability in the android market to change accounts..
Have you tried it on the market page?
https://market.android.com/
You might need a device but it is worth a try.
Lately, I've been dying to play the game Draw Something by OMGPOP. But sadly, it is incompatible with my Samsung Galaxy Mini.
So, I rooted my phone so I could trick the android market into letting me download. I followed every step in changing device name to Nexus S and fingerprint in the build.prop. I even got an email from Google welcoming me to the Nexus S community. But the apps on the market did not change.
Also, the online market says that my phone is a Nexus S also.
Does anyone know what I can do to get apps to show on my phone or online? I REALLY want to play Draw Something...
U could bypass the market and download it off the internet. u cant update it but u could play it.

Noob here with a hard luck story..
I'm living in China, and just bought a new Galaxy Tab 2 7 inch (model number GT-P3100). Unfortunately, it didn't come preloaded with any Google apps. No Google Play store, nothing. I found the Google framework.apk, and play store.apk and successfully loaded them. They store app will load for about half a second, and then crash. nothing. I did manage to get the device loaded on my Google account, so it shows up on the web store. it wont download anything because the store app isn't working. China is absolutely not Google's friend...
would rooting and flashing a MOD from a tab from the usa be an option? maybe alt app stores? kind stuck...

Root then flash a Custom ROM (like AOKP or CyanogenMod) that has a GAPPs zip for it aswell, should get you up and going, tho you may also need to connect thru a proxy server outside of china, it's been a while and I don't remember all the details I've read about accessing google play from china. Yeah china sucks when it comes to google.
If you prefer the stock ROMs, you can also flash a stock ROM from another country with gapps included and should be fine
Hi.
I have two questions about the Amazon App Store that I have not been able to find answers to anywhere so far.
1. When the Underground App Store came out, it seemed to slowly replace the old original Amazon App Store, but I didn't see it mentioned anywhere that the old store needed to be uninstalled, and I am concerned that the Underground App Store may not be able to manage all my previously installed apps, especially Free App Of The Day apps. Does anyone know if it is safe to delete the original Amazon App Store while still able to manage any older Amazon-downloaded apps?
2. One of the Amazon App Stores (not sure which one) has recently (early 2016) started the nasty habit of automatically updating all my Amazon-downloaded apps whenever a new update is available, and I am not OK with this. Most important of all, it doesn't seem to ask me about changed permissions anymore! I have not found any way of disabling this behavior so far. I even emailed Amazon customer service about this and was told they'd have to talk to me on the phone about this as it is a more complex issue - yea, right...
FYI, I know enough about Android to root my phone and browse the file structure, and I have some Linux experience, so either there is no easily found option for question 2 or I am suffering from temporary blindness which tends to happen occasionally...
I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S5 on Verizon, rooted, Android 4.4.4 Kernel 3.4.0, in case it helps. I disabled Android Software Updates so towelroot doesn't get disabled.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!
